Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis brand-new apartment on Maanplein sits in a neighbourhood that is very much a work in progress. At 78 m², it is considerably smaller than the average home in the area, which tends to be much larger because of the many business premises. The rent of €1,795 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €1,542, but given the A+++ energy label and modern finish, it is in line with what you would expect for a new-build in Den Haag. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
The Binckhorst is still primarily an industrial area, and the two residents who reviewed it are honest about that. One says: "It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there." The other calls it "an industrial area with a few houses" and notes there is "no greenery" and "quite dangerous in the evening." Both mention litter and a lack of community, partly because of the many businesses and two reception centres. On the plus side, it is easily accessible by bike and car. The neighbourhood has a very high density of 3,743 addresses per km², and most residents are young adults between 25 and 45. For more on the area, see Binckhorst.
For daily groceries, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Hoogvliet and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school is a five-minute walk, and KC de Telescoop is about the same. For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Den Haag provides all the usual city amenities, though you will need to travel a bit for a large supermarket or a park.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Atrium Makelaars B.V. and Funda.

It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though. It's easily accessible by bike and car, but that's also because there's a very busy road running through it. This makes some places dangerous for cyclists. There's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening. Some lights don't work, and sometimes strange people are around. There isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area. There are also two reception centres that can sometimes cause nuisance in the evening and during the day (boys on fat bikes shouting things). This also makes safety less good, especially in the evening when there aren't many people around.

About Maanplein 114G, 'S-Gravenhage
The rent of €1,795 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €1,542, but the apartment is a new-build with an A+++ energy label and a modern finish. The average rent per m² in the Binckhorst is €20.12, which would put this apartment at around €1,569 based on size alone, but new-builds typically command a premium. Given the energy efficiency and quality, the price is in line with what you would expect for a similar property in Den Haag.
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the apartment is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. You can expect a well-insulated home with modern installations, keeping utility bills to a minimum.
Residents report that the area can feel unsafe in the evening, with some lights not working and occasional nuisance from reception centres. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 524, which is relatively high for a small area. However, the neighbourhood is undergoing redevelopment, and safety may improve over time.
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn about 869 m away, but residents say it is very small. Other options include Hoogvliet (1.1 km) and Jumbo (1.2 km). For schools, there are several primary schools within a 10-minute walk, such as Groen van Prinsterer (307 m) and KC de Telescoop (565 m). Secondary school Gymnasium Novum is 790 m away.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. The area is well-connected by bike and car, with a busy road running through the neighbourhood.
Residents note that there is virtually no greenery in the Binckhorst. The nearest park or public garden is 1.0 km away, so you would need to walk about 10 minutes to reach green space. The area is primarily industrial, with limited natural surroundings.
